Debra Hill Just saw this in the news. Debra Hill, John Carpenter's long-time collaborator, passed away at 54. She produced and co-wrote Halloween, Halloween II, The Fog, and Escape from LA, and also produced (amongst other things) Escape from New York, Halloween III, The Dead Zone, Big Top Pee-Wee, The Fisher King. That is quite an accomplished list. She was in the process of producing the remake of The Fog, as well as a film about the last two men pulled from the rubble of the Twin Towers. She was also one of the first women to carve out a career for herself as a producer. http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/103-03072005-459791.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4328323.stm
